The greatest game song this side of ‘Still Alive’

Over the past few weeks i have become increasing addicted to the Xbox live indie game “I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1″

As well as only costing $1, it also features possibly one of the greatest computer game songs ever. You have no excuse not to buy it from XBL

The Hull Ukulele Group (HUG) had a 80s evening a few weeks back, and this is one of the songs that proved to be a hit.

Unfortunately i cant embed the actual video for this, but heres the song for those who arent familar.

Theres a little bit of ‘artistic licence with regards to the structure here, but its a pretty easy one to play. Get the riff right and it will sound ace

Walking on Sunshine – Katrina and the Waves

Just make sure everyone joins in with the ‘Whoahs’!!

HUG member Jeanette is off to New Zealand next week to visit her family. On the off chance she accidentaly bumps into the WIUO and gets invited to a jam, she has made an Ukulele Case out of an old Hi-Vis jacket, so she can take her uke with her…

Ive moved house, im busy at work, but above all i had bloggers block!.

But anyways, ive decided to kick off again, and have updated Wordpress and switched themes. 2010 will be the year of ‘less is more’ theme-wise

Speaking of which, who knows what 2010 will bring (apart from ZYM 3.0!! – launch date mid April!!)

Oh, and ive finally updated the Ukulele Songs page to include all of the chordsheets i put on here in 2009

HAPPY 2010!! (better late than never!)

Chord Friday: Winter winds – Mumford and Son

I dont wish to be all smug about this, but i reckon got this one right, and the rest of the interweb has
it wrong. All of the other versions ive seen have it in C, while im pretty sure its in G.
Also ive got the intro right, and the riff

IN YOUR FACE INTERWEB, IN YOUR FACE!!!

Winter Winds – Mumford & Son

Your on your own regarding the strumming pattern, and your probably best working out your own style , rather than copying the track 100%
